Pastoral, can’t save the soul

"Decameron" is a selection of ten stories from the original work, one after the other. I won't repeat the stories in the masterpieces. Why choose these stories instead of other stories? Personally, I feel that it is completely a question of nothing to do with movies, and it is not based on Jin Yong Gulong's TV series. So let's go directly to the movie. The background of the story is in medieval Italy. Whether it is people's clothing, architecture, and style, I feel quite realistic. In fact, we can treat this film as a movie version of "Decameron" without considering what Pasolini's work it is, because Pasolini's purpose seems to be to a large extent.
In modern society, we wander around under the cloak of civilization every day. It can be called the result of civilization. However, we are repeatedly wrapped by our own hypocrisy, so that we begin to use hypocrisy to wrap others, and we are being disciplined. Begin a new round of discipline. We were born amidst the rumbling of locomotives, and we are producing the next generation of citizens with the broad masses of class brothers in the endless and prosperous workshops. We keep repeating all kinds of taboos with incisions that only our own people can understand, deliberately misreading such and such sentences, filling the air with ambiguous emotions, constantly breathing heavily, and showing the addict's satisfied smile. However, there will always be a few people who hope to break through and return to the original simplicity, so they go back to the original power of life, hoping to use this to make a gap in the current order. That's what Pasolini did. In "Decameron", we can see the warmth of the period of sexual obscurity: sex, yes, it may always be realized in ways that seem inappropriate to us today, but people only use it as a way to find pleasure , Just get happiness from it. Today, the chains of our civilization have already handcuffed us tightly, but I still feel that there is nothing wrong with people seeking happiness, especially when the parties are happy and the related parties have not suffered any loss. Those who have the ability to work harder, work harder and earn more, which is a social axiom in the first place. Yes, as many people have said, their sex is too simple. After a man and a woman meet, they take off their clothes and do piston exercises. But we should consider the living conditions of people in the pastoral era: do people in that era need so much decoration and lingering we have today? It may not be an exaggeration to say that this film is an original sexual pastoral.
However, Pasolini was naturally naive. By resorting to the original sex, Boccaccio may be used as a weapon, but it can only be in that era. The current bourgeois have a set of sexual techniques long ago. They see the original sexuality, just like seeing a sika deer that has just grown antlers in a wildlife park. At best, we can only hope that there may be a slight feeling of appreciation for nature in their hearts, not to mention how they have long been thinking about how to use it for their own use.
Therefore, the more copies of history we make, the more realistic the more it arouses people's nostalgia, and it can only make people forget it faster. Everyone can appreciate beauty, but only those who regard beauty as their own nature may know to be grateful for beauty.

    Post-realism, non-professional actors, play down the environment irrelevant to the plot, reflecting the irony. The popular interpretation of mythological themes is by no means a mechanical copy of eight stories, a trilogy of life. Class X
